No matter unhappy someone may be with their smile, the problems can usually be solved with the help of a cosmetic dentist. Manchester practitioners will often suggest a dental bridge as the best option for patients with broken, missing or badly decayed teeth.
Beyond cosmetics
Tooth loss is not just aesthetically displeasing; it has some relations to health issues, like:
– Bite problems caused by movement of adjacent teeth
– Shrinkage of the jawbone
– Aging and drooping of the facial muscles
– Pain caused by exposed nerves
– Gum disease and erosion of adjacent teeth
– Problems eating and speaking
Psychologically, someone with degrading teeth may become depressed, withdrawn and lacking in self-confidence. Losing the ability to smile can affect every facet of life, from socializing to work prospects; so it’s important to act quickly.
Winning back that smile
A dental bridge uses one or more prosthetic teeth which attaches to the existing teeth on either side. Conventionally, these are crowned, but if the teeth are in a good state of repair, a more conservative option is to have a bonded bridge. Where the gap is at the end of a row, a cantilevered bridge can be fitted.
In Manchester, dentistry has advanced to the point where anyone can have a healthy winning smile.
